Aaron was very helpful
Aaron was very helpful. His presentation and explanations were clear and I would recommend him for a consultation if you are interested in learning about and getting an AVC.

Avoid
Avoid. In all honestly I think this company are taking advantage of healthcare workers who may not be as clued in about finances. IPF take a massive cut of your pension contribution, I was quoted an allocation rate of 69% in the first year, other companies quoted me 100% or 99%. Shop elsewhere and you will save significant amounts of money. Other brokers I have dealt with were really shocked at the IPF charges and said they had not seen anything like that in 20 years and thought those days are gone.

Reply from Irish Pensions and Finance
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you came away with this impression of our service.
We’d like to clarify that Irish Pensions & Finance does not charge any consultation fees, and we pride ourselves on being completely transparent with our clients. In fact, we offer the lowest fund management charge available on the market, and our allocation structures are designed to reflect this over the full lifetime of the pension, not just the first year.
We work closely with healthcare professionals across Ireland and always aim to ensure that our clients receive fair, unbiased advice tailored to their needs. We’d be very happy to review your specific quotation and explain how our structure compares over time. Please feel free to contact us directly at info@ipf.ie or on 01 829 8500 so we can discuss this in more detail.
Thank you again for your feedback.

Thank you for the time.
My experience felt very personal from beginning to end, my advisor brought me through the steps at my own pace.
With sound advice that was tailored to my personal needs and my own stage of life, I cannot recommend the level of professionalism and personal commitment to my life and family commitments, Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Killian was fantastic to explain everything to me in a way that I actually understood. He listened to and answered any and all questions I asked and took the time to clarify and explain as needed. He followed up with a comprehensive breakdown of our discussion which was so helpful to allow me to return to. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
